I feel the same way about a guy in my HS class who won the Nobel Prize for Physics...

Yeah we people of Oregon aren't known for much, and certainly not my high school (though there is this one kid younger than me.... never mind)

Really? Mariota? I graduated the same time year as Tom Brady and Tiger Woods.

Meh. I graduated with Joe Montana.

 

[calsnowskier]

I graduated the same year as Zach, Kelli, Jesse, Slater and Samuel.

I graduated with Nick Lowery. He was valedictorian, salutatorian, QB of the football team, and taught 4 classes.

I graduated from Nick Lowery High School. He graduated 2 years after me. He was an all-state QB AND an all-state WR.

Evidently the beginning of the selfie fad.

He once threw a Hail Mary pass to himself.

 

[Stokes1931]

He once threw a Hail Mary pass to himself.

It almost worked, until he intercepted it from himself, wrestling the ball from himself, and running it back for a touchdown, only to be run down from behind by himself, tackled at the 2 yard line, fumbling the ball, recovered by himself, then run back the other way for a game tying touchdown, for which he won the game by kicking the extra point. All of this occurred in 15 seconds, the dude is that fast. And the legend grows.

True story...

Brett Favre's first career complete pass in the NFL was to himself.

So Bum hurt his pitching shoulder.

Yea. That just happened.

Rosenthal is reporting he is out 6-8 weeks.

Fuck.

This truly fucking sucks. Can't be a good omen when both Posey and Bum go to the DL. I guess it's a minor miracle he's not hurt worse than he is. Brand new venture for him though, he's never gone to the DL. Ever. As a minor leaguer or major.

Tyler Beede, line one.

 

[SFGRTB]

Looks like Blach will get the first crack. I don't necessarily disagree with not having Beede start his 1st game as a Giants versus the dodgers. And we know what Blach has done against them. We'll see.

I am in full agreement if giving Blach first dibs on the open spot. We will likely need 2 additional SPs next year anyway, so we need both Blach and Beede to be ready.

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, there's always next year.

 

[msgkings322]

Even year next year....maybe we don't win it all every two years anymore but we at least make the playoffs every two years.

I can be pessimistic with the best of them but come on guys. Don't give up on the year yet. At least wait until May.

Yep. When 'Shaw went down last year his team started playing better. Stranger things have happened. I also seem to recall Kareem went down at one point and the Lakers kicked it in gear.

Hey, it's not like the Gs were taking advantage of his presence anyway. Maybe some new blood will also help.

Isn't there tanking in Baseball?

But actually this is probably a lost year can't win it every year but I would like to win it every other year.

Relax guys. I don't think anyone is SERIOUSLY mailing in the submission papers on the season yet. You gotta allow for a bit of sarcasm in a situation like this.

Nope, nope, nope. Not going to happen. Must require positivity. No sarcasm allowed.
